GIRL DIED BECAUSE OF FAILED DRUG WAR
The March 10 Herald editorial Another young life taken eloquently expressed
grief over the tragic killing of a 12-year-old girl in a senseless, wild
shooting in Miami. The statements of the cause of the shooting is less than
complete. This girl was a victim of our failed drug war. So long as drugs
are illegal, the drug suppliers have only one way of settling disputes --
through violence.
Innocent people often are caught in the cross-fire. Contrast this way of
settling disputes with the relatively civilized manner used in the tobacco
and liquor industries.
